How to create a nice transition between the gypsum and the beam at the removed wall.

[crackerjack]

In connection with the renovation of our kitchen, we have removed a wall and supported it with a glulam beam and some posts. These will probably remain visible afterwards and be painted white. The problem is achieving a nice transition between the drywall and the posts/beam on the sides. It looks roughly the same on the other side. Don't worry about the fabric, I was planning to apply renovation wallpaper over it.

How would you have done it? <see image>

Place a quarter round flush with the outermost stud. Let the quarter round go up to the ceiling. Then drywall out to the quarter round.

But isn't a quarter-round moulding a little "mark of the amateur"?

I find it hard to tell from the picture, but it looks to me like the post and the rail are at the same depth. Then, in my extremely amateur opinion, it's hard to get it right. If you want visible (painted) wood, maybe a solution is to clad them with planed wood after plastering where it fits?

I had put some weaker rule in the gap and then cut plasterboard pieces and tried to create a seamless transition edge to edge with the pillar. If you're going to put renovation wallpaper anyway, you let it extend to the pillar. Any gaps you can fill with filler. I think messing around with moldings and similar will just become cluttered.

Thanks for the response - but I think it seems a bit strange. Should the cast just end completely abruptly there without an edge or protection? What happens if you bump the cast, won't it break? Or did I misunderstand you?
